It you arc among those American
adults who hesitantly applaud the
flag at the movies and remain
strangely unemotional when view of
the fleet or of our fighting men are
shown, you should attend a chil­
dren's movie matinee. We did so
the other day. nnd the way the kid­
dies stamped, clapped and shrieked
nt every view of Old Glory, an
American warship or an American
' fighter appeared on the screen was
good for the soul.
frock, the silhouette of which is
flattering to chubby and slim fig­
ures alike. And so easy to make
too!
The neckline here is cut
square, the sleeves are short and
puffed. The frock will be ador­
able in a gay flower printed or
plain color cotton trimmed with
perky ric-rac and a set of match­
ing buttons.
Another garment you’ll rush to
complete for your little daughter's
midwinter wardrobe are the over­
alls—cunning and practical too.
Later this season you will add the
quickly made rompers.

Accent on Dinner
Dinner is th<- muster meu I of the day
and ns such requires the most mas­
terful stroke the
homemaker can
apply. Willi time
unlimited, this
master stroke is
not so hard to
bring Into play,
but with days like
these which are
filled to the ut­
most with activi­
ty of all kinds,
time-saving hints und Idra» for din-
ner are important.
Planning a meal which con all
be baked is both time and money
saving. If you're pinched for silver
and aluminum for cooking and serv­
ing. you cun use glasswures for
both the cooking and serving
Today I'm discussing a dinner
that is equally adaptable for either
a family or company dinner it's
one of those meals that you won't
forget because It's always bound to
be successful from the point of view
of appetite appeal, ease in serving
and ease in cooking. Tuck these
ideas where they won't gather dust,
for they'll gather fame more easily
•Lamb Roast.
(Serves 8 to 10)
5 to 8 pound leg of lamb
Garlic clove or slice of onion
Salt and pepper
Have a leg of lamb boned and
tied. Wipe with a damp cloth but
do not remove fell, the parchment­
like covering over the meat Rub gar­
lic or onion (or oolon salt, if you
have neither* of Siose) over the
meat, then rub salt and pepper.

'Franconia Potatoes.
«Serve» 8 to 10)
8 to 10 medium-sized potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Cook potatoes In boiling salted
water for 15 minutes. Drain and
place in the oven around the meat
to finish roasting, about 40 minutes.
Pour melted butter and chopped
parsley over potatoes when done.
Arrange with whole, cooked carrots
on platter and serve.
A hot bread on a cool evening
adds plenty of staccato to the menu,
and I would ad­
vise serving It of­
ten. This one is
especially appro­
priate
for
the
menu today be­
cause your oven
will be hot and
you can bake it
before you put In the meat.
Lynn Say»:
Trying to tackle the winter
vegetable problem? Here’s a pa­
rade of suggestions that will prop
up your meals:
Baked squash with small white
onions baked in the hollow. A
bit of cream sauce added just be­
fore serving to the onions will
also perk up this dish. Sprinkle
with paprika for color.
Carrots:
glaze
these with
brown sugar and butter when
baking. For cooked carrots add
a bit of tartness with lemon juice.
Serve canned or cooked lima
beans with this smart mustard
sauce: 4 tablespoons butter mixed
with W teaspoon sugar, 1 tea­
spoon ground mustard and 2 ta­
blespoons lemon juice.
Beets like to be teamed up
with a Harvard sauce. Thicken
the beet liquid with cornstarch
and add a bit of grated orange
rind and juice for delightful vari­
ation.
Sprinkle cooked asparagus with
grated Swiss cheese and brown
under the broiler.
Parsnips: parboil these, then
dip in egg and bread crumbs.
Fry until a golden brown.
Turnips: cook and mash. Sea­
son with butter, salt and pepper
and a dash of nutmeg.

Speaking of planning menus that
seem to fit both company and fam­
ily dinner occasions I thought you
might like a few suggestions. Here
are foods that fit each other be­
cause of their flavors blending to­
gether so smoothly, because of their
balance and contrast In texture and
flavor. They’re easy to keep in mind
and fix at a few hours' notice:

Heifer Hooksey has been reading
so much about rationing cards,
stamps, etc., that as soon as day­
light saving came in he went to a
bureau and asked for a stamp en­
titling him to the right time.
Elmer Twitchell caya he Is
losing his morale listening to
some of the morale builders.
It is this department's feeling that
behind the Normandie disaster is a
great part of the story of America's
major faults: a complete loss of ef­
ficiency as it was once interpreted,
an "Oh yeah" attitude of the work­
er toward the boss, a decline in
thoroughness and an almost total
eclipse of pride in a job well done.

player of daily doubles, as observed
